Comments on: The Tortoise + The Duck http://www.KathEats.com/the-tortoise-the-duck Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:36:26 +0000 hourly 1 By: Ria http://www.KathEats.com/the-tortoise-the-duck#comment-106748 Ria Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:09:47 +0000 http://www.KathEats.com/the-tortoise-the-duck/#comment-106748 I am a massage therapist and do a lot of sports massage. Sometimes the reason people stand like you is that the psoas and illiacus are too tight. These muscles are deeper core muscles that tend to tilt the pelvis forward. I say get a good massage and stretch these muscles. Some exercises can also tighten these accidentally. Good luck. I am a massage therapist and do a lot of sports massage.

I took Mitzvah Technique classes (like Alexander technique), and it definitely helped my posture...when I remember to think about it. :D I totally stand like that too!

I just figure the new shoes are pressing on a nerve or two that the old shoes don't...once the shoes are "broken in" the numbness stops. It only takes 3-4 wearings and it stops. And I agree with all of your observations about the revamped Cooking Light. I love that magazine but there is something about the font/binding...something...that bothers me.

When I opened up my issue it just seemed a little off. The content has improved though, so I guess there's a trade off. I agree about the layout/design of cooking light.

It's funny, because the lumbar region of your back seems perfectly - if not over - arched, which is odd because usually most people tend to slump. I actually took a course on this kind of thing and the instructor (of 30+ years!) taught that superior posture was comprised of two things: (1) a slight pelvic tilt forward, and (2) the "Marionette Effect," wherein one carries him/herself as if there is a string on his/her head, ever-so-lightly pulling the spine toward the ceiling.

I enjoyed reading your Cooking Light thoughts too. Good points. I do miss the old style a bit, but I like some of the new parts too. I preferred the old, but I never liked <I>reading</I> the magazine because it was all recipes, so I do think I'll like this style more for a magazine. But I'll miss the old one too. Katie, Thank you! marla, I don't have a rice cooker :( Kath Thanks for all of the duck advice!!!
